Chapter 444: Chapter 375: Such Cultivation Techniques Go Against the Heavenly Harmony and Should Be Kept by Me, Hong Yuan_2

The storm surged suddenly, and the waves on the river rose in succession.

The team members looked at Hong Yuan in horror.

"Damn it, how has his strength increased so much again!?"

"I thought Ye Gufan was subdued by Ye Qingcheng, but it seems they are just cooperating now..."

Everyone felt incredibly panicked. Even Ye Fengdao was intimidated by Hong Yuan’s domineering aura. Ye Qingcheng was the granddaughter of a Great Saint; when had she ever been suppressed like this? But then, something Ye Fengdao hadn’t expected happened: Ye Qingcheng actually bowed her head to Hong Yuan!?

"The will of Gu Fan is the same as my will. Let’s all take action," Ye Qingcheng said, her face calm.

But in her heart, she was furiously cursing Hong Yuan. Damn Ye Gufan, how dare you defy me! Watch how I deal with you later!

The squad members began to take action one by one, leaving only Hong Yuan and Ye Qingcheng at the scene.

Hong Yuan glanced at Ye Qingcheng subtly, his eyes deep.

You can even tolerate this; your designs on me must be significant. I’d like to see what tricks you’re playing...

「The outside world.」

On the vast water screen, everyone was shocked to see the team’s leadership shift to Hong Yuan.

"Ye Gufan is staging a coup! My goodness, it seems he never submitted to Ye Qingcheng!"

"Amazing, really amazing. A Heavenly Talent from a branch family can actually contend with a Heavenly Talent like Ye Qingcheng. This is incredible!"

For a time, rumors flew.

But soon, under the manipulation of certain individuals, the direction of the discussion was still firmly controlled by Great Saint Taibai.

"I’m laughing. It’s obviously Fairy Qincheng being generous, not bearing grudges against Ye Gufan."

"Indeed, Ye Gufan is too aggressive, without any kindness or gentle demeanor. Fortunately, Fairy Qincheng is there to hold him down." Similar sentiments echoed among the crowd.

From a mysterious perspective, complicated yet abundant threads of fate were entwining themselves around Hong Yuan and Ye Qingcheng. It was an utterly terrifying sight!

One Ferocious Beast after another was hunted down by the team members, and soon, even all kinds of extremely precious Spiritual Medicines were piled high on the island.

Feeling the sea breeze, Hong Yuan’s eyes narrowed as he turned to look at Ye Qingcheng.

He said calmly, "Start the Alchemy. I can’t always follow you."

Seeing Hong Yuan’s cold demeanor, Ye Qingcheng felt extremely displeased.

Since childhood, which male peer hadn’t tried to please her? Even if they didn’t try to please her, they at least maintained a non-offensive stance.

Only Hong Yuan treated her as if she were nothing, almost the same as those Saints!

Humph, let him be smug now. Later I’ll make him kneel on the ground like a dog; I’ll make him lick my toes! Ye Qingcheng thought resentfully.

However, her face showed a gentle expression at the moment, and she said tenderly, "I understand. I ask Gu Fan to protect me during the process."

The Pill Furnace emerged. Flames arose. Cultivation techniques were activated!

Ye Qingcheng’s slender, pale fingers danced like fluttering butterflies, quite a beautiful sight.

It looked less like Artifact Refining, more like dancing. Although her demeanor seemed pure and devout, it exuded an extreme charm.

Among the team members, aside from Ye Fengdao who barely maintained his composure, the rest looked at her fervently.

Hong Yuan, however, frowned imperceptibly.

With his insight as a Refining Tao Master, he realized that Ye Qingcheng was intentionally ruining the pills!

What is this woman playing at? It’s just a small challenge, and still so many surprises. I really want to smash her with a punch... Hong Yuan’s gaze was profound as he stared at Ye Qingcheng expressionlessly, making Ye Qingcheng feel a chill deep in her heart.

Ye Qingcheng didn’t want to intentionally ruin the pills either, but as long as Hong Yuan didn’t intervene, it was difficult for her to use a righteous pretext to forcefully seize fortune and ascend.

Is this the Eternal Azure Lotus Reincarnation? Indeed, she possesses great fortune. No wonder Grandfather and Father told me to plan carefully and not be rash, Ye Qingcheng sighed quietly to herself.

For Supreme Talents blessed with great fate, the more you press them, the more you activate their potential.

If you cannot kill them in one blow, your attacks will only become nourishment for their rapid growth. You’re better off slowly wearing them down, like boiling a frog in warm water.

Ye Qingcheng had no doubt that if her Great Saint grandfather rashly took action, he would encounter great misfortune!

"OH NO!" Ye Qingcheng suddenly cried out anxiously, her expression flustered.

The next moment, a loud BANG erupted from the Pill Furnace.

The Pill Furnace exploded!

Not only that, but most of the Alchemy materials at the scene were also completely destroyed.

As a result, they would have to search for materials again.

"Gu Fan, can you—" Ye Qingcheng lifted her head to look at Hong Yuan, appearing utterly pitiful, a truly heart-wrenching sight.

"Ye Fengdao, you all go search again," Hong Yuan interrupted Ye Qingcheng’s words decisively, commandingly ordering Ye Fengdao and the others to act.

This, however, made Ye Qingcheng grind her teeth in frustration.

The squad, once again forced by Hong Yuan’s authority, dispersed.

「The outside world.」

「In the Ye Family’s forbidden area, White Gold Palace.」

Great Saint Taibai sighed softly, looking at Hong Yuan’s unflappable appearance on the water screen. "Alas, I didn’t expect that I would have to take action."

He was an eighth-order Great Saint, a famous powerhouse in the Southern Border, even among the Human Race.

To plot against a fifth-order junior was indeed a bit demeaning. If word got out, he’d be a laughingstock!

But for his granddaughter, he was willing to do this.

"Concentrate spirit with qi, Stars Follow Water!"

Great Saint Taibai quickly formed seals with his right hand. A ray of white-gold light emerged above it, then transformed into a blue light.
